The first example I gave was Obama, not being able to figure out 3 little buttons for voting, not being sure of what they meant. There is a huge diference between that and misdialing a phone number, they are seperated, they are color coded, and only 3 of them Yes, No, or Present. Perhaps that is too difficult for him to figure out, or was it that he didn't understand the legislation that he was voting on.... understand that point now?
I understand that you weren't there and are going off 2nd. 3rd, or 4th hand information. And if you want to talk about buttons, how about we talk about Florida and the infamous 2000 election? Everyone makes mistakes and they learn. If he STILL didn't know the buttons, I'd call that a problem. As it is, it was a bone-head moment and we ALL have those. Those who claim they don't are lying.

The second example is another example of not being able to keep track of what he voted on, trying to cover it up, and then calling others liars for pointing out his own lies, and then finally admitting to them. Still no apologies by the way. I won't even touch the topic that it is in reference to because that is an entirely different debate.
"and then finally admitting to them."
Great, so can we move past the incident or are you using that incident as evidence that no other president or presidential candidate has lied or tried to cover something up?

Now to your original post, you are suggesting that because he was not sure of exactly how many properties were owned by he and his wife, that he is some how incompetent. You do realize that his wife has a hell of a lot of holdings, and that he doesn't partake in that part of the finances? He stated that he wasn't sure exactly how many but would have his staff get the correct information for those that were interested. This seems to be a logical answer, and perhaps even a humble one, admitting he didn't know and offering to get the information, seems much more sensible than shooting from the hip.
Seems to me they asked how many houses HE had. Not "properties managed by his wife." Seems a pretty simple answer to me. But I guess not.

Finally, to the question posed. I believe the Republicans have fucked up royally with the ammount of spending they have proposed, passed, and allowed in the budgets they were responsible for. That covers a pretty big number of fuck ups, and was covered in one sentence. The minutia is covered daily here by others, so why should I add to it? Since, I think you are asking for something McCain specific, I would point to his fuckup with the McCain-Kennedy bill, I am not all that sure that he has changed his opinion on immigration, and it is something I hold against him.
Cop out answer. If you're going to post youtube videos and news articles showing what a bad, bad man Obama is. I want the same for McCain. Don't gloss over them the way the rest of the republicans do, give me specific examples with links like you did for Obama.

Just one last point, the number of folks bashing Republicans compared to those that bash the Democrats around here is a pretty big difference. So there is much more new information to add about Obama.
Not from where I'm sitting. I have seen headlines about Obama being "bad" on this board than the reverse.
